Precious Life Kit
Friend, I am so sorry. I know this is incredibly hard. I’ve been where you are and I wish we didn’t have to talk about this. But since we do, I’m going to walk you through how to use this kit. Finding your baby will allow for burial so that you can grieve with hope and mourn your loss with dignity. Miscarriages can occur for different reasons. If you're experiencing a miscarriage, you might notice symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, or passing tissue. Going through this can be scary and upsetting. It's crucial to reach out for support from understanding healthcare professionals, compassionate counselors, supportive groups, or cherished loved ones to help navigate the emotional journey of loss with tenderness and care. In this kit you will find information and the following supplies to help you catch, locate, and preserve your baby for burial. One specimen hat One Strainer Glass Container to place baby inside Cardboard sleeve for sensitivity.
